Just finished my first Class Picnic blouse. This was fun and easy to make. I can see lots of possibilities for using contrasting fabrics for the yoke or sleeves as well as adding trim between the yoke and body.

I loved this pattern. The sleeves were a little narrow for my 3 yr old GD. I also thought they would be longer. I will use this pattern again and again. Thanks so much.

I haven't seen it yet but I have the "Oliver and S Little Things to Sew" book and am making my way through that. Patterns explain in detail what to do! Thank you Leisl for making the so user friendly! Can't wait to sew the picnic blouse & shorts!

I sewed two pairs of these shorts with some sneaky fabric to match some school uniform jumpers that I had made. The shorts turned out to be absolutely adorable and should be a sneaky fun addition to the school uniforms. My daughter goes to Chinese immersion school, so I used black for the shorts to meet the school uniform requirements and then used some Michael Miller Chinese kids on the striping on one pair and pink panda on another. OMG Cute.
